Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit to store data set including version information; an acquiring unit to acquire update-use data set including version information; a providing unit to provide the version information read from the storage unit; a updating management unit to determine whether updating of the data set stored in the storage unit is required, when determined that updating is required based on the acquired version information and the provided version information, updating the data set stored in the storage unit using the update-use data set; and a updating completion determination unit to determine whether the updating of data set by the updating management unit is completed, when determined that the updating of the data set is not completed correctly, the providing unit provides specific version information indicating the updating is not completed correctly instead of the version information stored in the storage unit.
